Chapter 90: Torture
"Although...... That's true. But Natsume, don't you think it's all too much of a coincidence?"
Natsume's appeasement didn't dispel all the doubts in Koaki's heart, but Natsume shook his head.
"No, I don't think so. ”
"It's not a coincidence at all, it's no coincidence. I believe that all this has been in his calculations for a long time, but we cannot escape, there is never a second option, we can only help him and accept his help at the same time. ”
"Even if it's poisonous in this bait, I can only swallow it. ”
The atmosphere became a little dull, what was the use of Natsume's unwillingness? He could only accept this reality, and at the same time arrange his back hands as much as possible, although it is unknown whether they are useful or not, whether they will work or not, but he always has to fight for his life and his family.
"Stop talking about these things, what have I become now?"
On the contrary, Natsume took the lead in changing the topic to liven up the atmosphere and lead the conversation to something less pessimistic. Koaki Jijue also knew what Natsume was doing this, so he tacitly revealed that topic and carefully looked at the current Natsume.
"Hmm...... It's pretty good, but it's more like a youkai than before. If you want to say that you are human now, everyone will probably not believe it. ”
Gu Ming Jijue smiled and stretched out his hand to caress every inch of Natsume's face, Natsume's appearance did not change at all, except that there was an oval crystal the size of a pigeon's egg in front of his forehead, and a pair of horns of the same material that somewhat resembled antelope horns extended on both sides of the crystal. Natsume's eyes changed greatly, the original round pupils became slender and vertical linear pupils, and the iris changed from brown to sparkling silver, like mercury, giving the illusion that it was constantly circulating. In addition to the original layer, his eyelids have two more layers of transparent colorless eyelids, one is a tough membranous material that opens and closes left and right, and the other is a peculiar structure that directly covers the surface of the eyeball to protect it, and it will not open and close at all, and it requires a lot of careful observation to find a strange structure, which is very easy to be confused with the cornea. The two eyelids on both sides of the outer layer move regularly when Natsume blinks, and it looks very interesting. The ears become longer and more pointed, resembling elven ears in literature. Natsume's teeth have been sharpened to varying degrees, and his tongue has become more slender and slender than before, both of which he has experienced first-hand. In addition, there are sparse crystal scales randomly distributed on his face, these scales are more like fish scales than snake scales, and they are more densely located on the outside of Natsume's eye sockets and cheekbones, as well as on the outer edge of the auricle. And his hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes have turned a slightly translucent silver white, as if the hair is also mixed with crystals. All crystals look colorless and transparent, but the light refracted from them is colorful, especially the oval crystal in the center of the forehead, if the light is full, it is almost impossible to see what it is. This change is very consistent with Natsume's temperament, and there is nothing dissonant.
The only thing I have to say is that I don't really look like a human being.
Natsume grabbed a strand of his hair and observed that his long back-length hair could support this kind of movement. The young man tried to tug at his hair, and found that the texture was tougher and firmer than before.
"You look like a Mary Sue now, be careful not to be hunted by the Lunarians?"
Gu Ming Jijue also soothed his mood a little, and even had room to laugh at Natsume. Natsume also nodded, he didn't have any requirements for his appearance, after all, he couldn't see it, but at least he had to make Gu Ming Jijue look pleasing to the eye.
"It's okay, I'm not going to leave the old hell anyway, the Lunarians can't find me. ”
Natsume put down her hair and didn't care.
"But are you going to have to live with all these horns, scales, fangs, or whatever? I don't dislike it, but it will take some time to get used to. ”
"I've only completed the transformation of my head, or 'lesion', so I'm not a complete Jewel Dragonborn yet. When the dragonization spreads all over my body, and I have transformed every part, I will be able to control the dragon blood in my body. When the time comes, you can put away these dragon traits and restore them to their original appearance. ”
Natsume blinked and replied. Koming Jijue found that he liked to see Natsume blink more and more, and his current multi-layered eyelids were really very playful, exquisitely constructed, and extremely beautiful with those silver eyes.
But she cared more about another thing that Natsume's words revealed.
"You're saying your makeover isn't completely complete, are you?"
Natsume shook his head, and the pair of crystal dragon horns swayed up and down, drawing a trajectory in the air.
That is to say...... You're going to have to endure all this pain in the future?"
Natsume's form stiffened for a moment, but he continued to nod. It can be seen from this that the process of dragonization has left a deep psychological shadow on Natsume, and Natsume, who has never been afraid of physical pain, will hesitate slightly.
"Is he using this opportunity to torture you?"
Koaki Jijue took Natsume's hand and looked at him with pity. She didn't know what kind of pain Natsume had endured, because Natsume deliberately blocked her voice when she was tortured in order not to cause a psychological burden on her, but Natsume's performance was still too obvious, and even when he was on the verge of a mental breakdown, he was not so embarrassed as he was tonight.
The young man opened his mouth hesitantly, he actually had some doubts about whether Wang Yu did it on purpose, but after thinking for a while, he still said:
"It should ...... Not. I could feel that the pain was from the transformation itself, not from the torture he had deliberately inflicted. No matter how insidious and cunning, he would never make such a childish move. After all, even if it is painful, I will not cure the dragonization in my body, and it will not change the result in any way, there is no point in this kind of thing. ”
"It's hard to say, he's not a good person, it's normal to be small-minded. ”
Gu Ming Dijue did not accept Natsume's exculpation, she didn't have any good feelings for Wang Yu in the first place, and she wished that he would die directly in the seal. Now that her husband is suffering this kind of torture because of him, she is naturally not hesitant to splash all the dirty water on Wang Hao and let him take the blame.
Anyway, he can't jump out and hit himself, can he?
"Yes, he's small-minded. ”
Natsume doesn't have a good impression of Wang Yu either, so of course he doesn't argue with his wife for him. The married man agreed with his wife's words without any position, or rather that was his position.
After all, the opportunity for Koming to play the character of a little daughter is very rare, and Natsume thinks that this kind of talent is also very cute.
